BitCoins?
Anyone taken the plunge and started using bitcoins for anything? I have an account and other than the free .02 bitcoins I have yet to earn a single coin from letting the process run on my machine for several weeks. I am assuming that this has to do with the massive number of people that are not choosing to pay a transaction fee, (its optional, and set by default to 0).
The newest client doesn't even have the option to "generate coins" so I am wondering if they think that it is big enough that people will just be buying off the markets. Either way they have been in the news quite a bit lately with hacking and the exchanges getting hit.

ReplyDeletei haven't yet.
ReplyDeleteI think I will pass on the bitcoin fad. The exchange issue bother me far too much to invest any real money in it.
ReplyDeleteTo generate coins at this point you need an impressive rig with multiple video cards run special gpu mining software :/
ReplyDeleteIt's now too complex to expect any standard machine to mine for so long it's not worth it.
It's a great concept, but almost no one is currently accepting it an actual payment so I'll pass.
ReplyDeleteI just don't see what this is all about.
